The day's dominant editorial focus was the fallout from an Israeli map that appeared to annex parts of southern Lebanon, triggering a political crisis. Morning reports covered ongoing Israeli strikes and forest fires in the south, but by afternoon, Hezbollah had called for halting negotiations and international action, accusing the state of inaction over environmental devastation. Kataeb and Janoubia reported that Lebanon was weighing its stance ahead of the next Rome talks, while diplomatic efforts in Washington led to Israel removing the map by evening. Concurrently, Netanyahu hinted at a 'highly significant operation' in Lebanon, and the first appearance of Mojtaba Khamenei since the war began drew attention. The day's narrative shifted from military escalation to the diplomatic rupture caused by the map, framing it as the central development.
